Chapter 92 – Seeing His Enemy Again!

[Here!]

 

They arrived in this quiet floor. According to Little Dou, this was supposed to be where Xiao Ming was staying.

This floor was small, only around ten square meters of lobby space. There were no windows, and overall, it looked like a small hotel lobby.

[He’s in there!]

 

In front of them was a fancy double door. From its designs, everyone could discern that it was valuable. It was a pity that Max couldn’t steal it.

The more he stole from Xiao Ming, the more damage he will give him so Max was prepared to do everything to hit him the worst way he could.

He would only steal the expensive ones as the others were worthless. It’s his time that is going to be wasted so Max won’t bother with the useless ones.

“How are we going to get in?”

[I went in a while ago after someone opened the door to go inside! We can wait for someone, or you just open the door and hope that he won’t notice! It wasn’t locked when I was previously here!]

 

“I have to open the door and hope that he won’t notice? What’s the chance of that happening?”

[I’m not sure! His bedroom was behind that door! If he’s lying down, he would be facing that door too!]

 

“What?! There’s no chance for me to go in that way then.”

Waiting for someone to open the door for them was definitely out of the picture. No one would wait that long just to sneak inside.

If Max were going to do that, he would rather break in and knock Xiao Ming unconscious while invisible and clean his vault in the process.

“Let me think! There must be another way.”

*Ahnn*

Max furrowed his brows, looked up, then shook his head. He thought that he heard someone moan beside him, but they were the only ones here.

*Ahnn*

While he was thinking of a plan, standing motionless, Max heard it again. It was like a faint sound of moaning somewhere.

Max tried to guess where the sound was coming from, pointing his ears to where he thought it came from.

*Ahnn*

Max went closer to were it was, hearing the moans getting louder with each step he takes until he couldn’t get any closer.

“It’s inside?”

Max stuck his ear on the door as quietly as he can to confirm whether the moans were coming inside Xiao Ming’s room.

*Ahnn!*

“It’s really inside!”

“Was there a woman inside a while ago?”

[No, I followed the Awakened inside. There were only two of them at that time! There were other rooms, but they were too far so I can’t say!]

 

Little Dou shook her head. From what she recalls, she didn’t see anyone though she doesn’t clearly remember the other rooms.

Xiao Ming’s room has a weird layout. The room behind the door was Xiao Ming’s bedroom. Behind his bed was a glass wall with wide and thick curtains covering it.

On one side was the bathroom and a walk-in closet. On the opposite side, was a door to the living room. The living room was then connected to the recreation room, and the recreation room was connected to the movie theater room.

It was weirdly designed that Little Dou wasn’t able to check the farther rooms to see if there were anyone.

*Ahnn*

Inside the room.

Xiao Ming was with a naked woman on the king-sized bed. The yellow lights shone down on them, illuminating their moving bodies. The curtains were open this time, but it didn’t change anything as it was already dark outside.

Xiao Ming was positioned in between her legs humping the woman as fast as he can like a crazed animal.

He was doing a lousy job at it. Xiao Ming only focused on pleasuring himself, closing his eyes while moving his waist.

The girl was lying down the bed, unmoving like she had no energy. In reality, she was only not in the mood for this right now.

If Max were to see this, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from laughing. Xiao Ming’s dick was as tiny as his thumb. No one would believe it if they didn’t see it for themselves.

“Ahhh uhhh uhhh!”

Xiao Ming was shouting with every movement he makes. The faint, moaning sound that Max heard outside was Xiao Ming’s.

It was the walls that made his moans lighter, but it was all him. The girl was moaning along with him in a low tone. However, Xiao Ming’s obnoxious moaning covered hers.

After what seemed like ten seconds of humping, Xiao Ming reached his climax. Fondling the breast of the woman as he clenched his lower body.

It was quite pitiful to hear the fake moans of the woman he was humping. Even after he was done, she was still moaning. Evidently, from her tone, she was only moaning to act like she was enjoying it.

The girl was a worker at this hotel. She was only pretending to like it to satisfy the son of her boss. After this, she would get a lot of money, worth more than a few months of work.

This had been going on for a few months now, so she was extremely used to doing this. She even learned the fake moans to make him end faster.

The girl had a voluptuous body, but her face was ordinary, someone Max would not pay attention to if he ever saw her. Her skin was also unattractive; she had scars, rough, dry skin in some areas, and her legs were on the thicker side.

Only Xiao Ming would choose someone like her when he could have picked someone prettier. He might just be addicted to sex, not bothering who it was on his bed.

“Haa haa haa”

Xiao Ming had a satisfied expression on his face. When he wasn’t looking, there was a disgusted look on the girl’s face. He was the only one who was enjoying this.

“I’m already done. You can leave now.”

Xiao Ming didn’t care what the girl was feeling. She was just one of the workers he was paying. Xiao Ming wiped himself, not even glancing at her.

The girl followed his words, getting up, and going out the door after hurriedly wearing her uniform. This is how it always goes.

After the girl got out, no one saw that the closing door opened back a little bit before closing. The one who was responsible for it was Max.

When he heard some rustling behind the door, Max instantly reacted, buying an Invisibility Potion and drinking it right away while staying near the door, getting ready to go in if it opened.

It was then that it really opened. Max didn’t have the time to look at the person who got out, only focusing on sliding in the gap unnoticed.

His leg slightly hit the edge of the door, but no one noticed it before it closed. Max smirked as he successfully got into the room with Little Dou.

Chapter 45: I Like You

 I keep looking at the closed door for a while, in shock of what happened just now.   

[You are fucked up, buddy…]  

F-Fucked up… B-But why? Why did Rebecca run away?   

[I am sorry to say but I guess she probably hates you. I cannot think of any reason other than that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]  

Rebecca… hates me?   

[Buddy, you had sex with her once and didn’t contact her for days after. You don’t think any girl would like that exactly, do you? And please don’t misunderstand, I am not saying that it’s your fault. You were in pretty fucked up situation.]  

I-I guess. But still, how come I am not dead yet? My poison…  

[Hmm… The most possible reason for that is the glitch.]  

Glitch? Even in a death poison?   

[Yeah. I think it means that you won’t die even if any permanent woman stops loving you, or even if she cheats on you.]  

R-Really… I guess it’s good then…   

[…]  

What?   

[YOU PIECE OF FILTHY SHIT! YOU CUCK! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT IT’S GOOD IF YOUR WOMAN CHEATS ON YOU!? YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF IF THAT HAPPENS EVEN BEFORE THE SYSTEM COULD!!! DIE IN HELL AND ROT THERE, IDIOT!!!]  

Woah, Woah, Woah! Calm down, okay? I never said that it’s good if any of my women cheats on me! I just meant that it’s a good thing that I am alive and all.   

I will never let my woman cheat on me… Ever.   

[Oh, sorry…Just… just try to be a bit clearer, okay? You really angered me there. You already know what my motto for women is: Stealing is good, getting stolen from is bad.]  

Yeah, I know.   

[And losing your woman is really bad in general as well! So, think about something to make Rebecca love you again. Let me help you with the first step: talk to her.]  

I know that. But the question is, How?   

[Hmm… How about entering through the window you escaped from last time?]  

That… That is a good idea!   

[I know, right? Just hope someone doesn’t see you and call the cops…]  

Yeah…  

I start running forward in full speed towards hedges.   

[Hey, hey, wait! What the fuck are you doing!?]  

What? I am jumping over the hedge.   

[Idiot, you are not in beast awakening right now. You will just break your neck if you go in this way! And why are you even bothering to do this? Just enter through the freaking front gate.]  

Oh… I-I am just a bit stressed.  

[Yeah, right…]  

I move sideways and enter through the front gate.   

Fortunately, the window in question is wide open like it was that day I ran away from here. I peek inside and it looks like there is no one here.   

Rebecca much be in her room upstairs…   

With a little difficulty, I climb inside and thus, enter the house.   

This place is exactly like I remember it, neat, clean and beautiful. The television seems to be on, so I decide to take a look at the living room but there is no one there as well.   

I guess Rebecca must be watching it before…   

[Don’t waste time snooping around! Go to her room!]  

I am not snooping around or anything! I was just checking if Rebecca was there!   

[Yeah, yeah. Move your ass.]  

Slowly, I move up the stairs while trying to be as quiet as possible. I don’t want Rebecca to hear me and just close her room from the inside.   

Fortunately, it doesn’t take me much time to find Rebecca’s room as there are only 3 rooms upstairs and I also remember in which one I woke the other day.   

I put my hand on the doorknob…  

Please don’t be too angry with me Rebecca.  

… and open the door to enter inside.   

“J-Jacob!?”  

Rebecca jumps up from the bed as soon as she sees me entering inside. Her long blond hairs are loose and her beautiful blue eyes are tinged red with tears flowing and running down her smooth cheeks.   

It looks like she was trying to cry herself to sleep…  

Fuck! This is bad… I need to apologize to her fast.  

I took a step forward…   

“Rebecca, I am really—”  

“Don’t come near me!” she shrieks loudly while jumping back on the bed.   

I stop moving, shocked by this extreme reaction.   

Seriously? Does she hate me so much that she won’t even let me come close?  

No, in need to somehow explain things to her.   

I again take a step forward with a bit more determination this time.   

“See, Rebecca. A lot of things happened—”  

“No! Don’t come near! P-please…”   

Rebecca again says loudly while quickly backing away even more.   

Please? Did she just say please?   

Don’t tell me…   

Shit! She is thinking that I am here to rape her again! She must have got a trauma…   

I do agree that the behavior of Rebecca was really strange the next morning after my first beast awakening (giving me a blowjob and all) but I guess it was all just because her thinking ability got messed up at that time…  

“… o-or you will hate me as well,” she continues in a much smaller voice.   

…   

What? I will hate her?   

This doesn’t make sense according to what I was thinking.  

Why would I hate Rebecca?   

“I don’t hate you, Rebecca. In fact, I really like you,” I tell her as earnestly as possible.   

“Y-You like me?”   

She asks but before I can even confirm again, she covers up her face and starts crying even harder than before.   

“Don’t… Say that…” She says.   

“Why, Rebecca? I really do like you! I am not lying” I say again.   

“Don’t…it will just be… harder for me… when you start…hating me…” She says while sobbing between every few words.   

Hating her? Why would I hate her?   

“I don’t hate you, Rebecca. See? I just confessed that I like you,” I say.   

“No… you will… if you get… close to me,” She says.   

Her tears are literally forming a wet spot on the bed now.   

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. I need to do something…   

Without making any noise, I slowly start moving towards the bed. Rebecca doesn’t notice me as her hands are covering her eyes (and also because of her continuously welling up tears).   

And the instant I get close enough…   

“Kyaaaaa!”  

I leap forward and lands on top of Rebecca, pinning her down on the bed.   

“GET AWAY! NOOOO!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!”   

Rebecca starts screaming and thrashing wildly, trying to push me away but I hold my ground.   

“Listen, Rebecca, I am touching you,” I say.   

“GET AWAY! GET AWAYYY! DON’T—”  

“REBECCA!” I yell loudly.   

Rebecca gets silent from my sudden outburst and she even stops thrashing for a moment.   

“See? I am touching you and I still like you very much,” I tell her while caressing her cheeks.   

“Y-You… don’t hate me?” She asks in a low and fearful voice.   

I don’t reply but just simply lower my head and kiss her soft lips which are salty with tears. Like this, I keep kissing her for a few minutes till she calms down before separating my mouth…  

“Now, do you think I hate you— Argh”  

Before I can speak; Rebecca pushes me sideways on the bed and sits on top of me.  

And instantly after, I start feeling her soft lips raining down kisses all over my face. I too put my hands on her slender waist and start kissing back with equal enthusiasm.   

Thought her tears are still coming out and dripping down on my face, I know that they are the tears of happiness.   

To tell the truth, I have many questions to ask Rebecca about what happened just now and why was she so scared to let me close to her but first… we are going to have some “intimate” reunion.  

*BANG*  

Suddenly, the door of Rebecca’s room opens with a bang, forcing us to separate our lips, and a girl walks in.   

“What are you doing with my sister, bastard!?”

Chapter 91 – Exorbitant Price

 

Previous Chapter | TOC | Next Chapter

 

Xiao Ming was the first one to piss Max this much. Max wasn’t a good person. His belief was simple; if someone annoyed him, he would get them back one hundred times worse.

If someone helped him, then he would only thank them and most likely forget about it the next day. That’s how his head works. Not that he was ungrateful; he only knows that if he owed someone, it might come back and bite him in the future.

This will only be the beginning of Max getting Xiao Ming back. Max doesn’t think that this will be enough. And this wasn’t only for him, Layla and Lydia, his women, were also attacked, which made his retaliation several times harsher.

“Sorry for the long wait, everyone! Now, let me show the first item!”

The woman looked apologetically to the crowd, invoking some of their sympathies, especially those horny dogs.

“It’s fine pretty lady! Take your time!”

Max curse the guy who shouted that in his mind.

‘Sh*t! There’s a limit to being a shameless pervert! Are you a virgin?! Why can’t you control yourself? Old man, you’re already so old! Leave that to your grandchild!’

The bald old man was laughing on his seat, disregarding the hateful glares that he received. Some of them were angry for not being the first to say those words, thinking about how lucky the old man was.

Not minding the small commotion, the woman uncovered the cart, showing what look liked an unknown jewel.

The jewel was unpolished and dirty but didn’t seem to be damaged. It was as big as a hand and shined like a diamond.

“This was an unidentified jewel that was originally an inheritance from a big family. Since they currently need a large amount of cash, they are prepared to let this jewel go for a minimum amount of one million!”

The crowd’s eyes’ lit up, hearing that the owner urgently needed money. That would mean they were somewhat desperate, effectively lowering the price of the treasure.

As they looked at each other with understanding on their eyes, knowing precisely what the other was thinking, but one person broke the silence,

“One million!”

A man in a suit shouted. This tiny amount of money seemed to be insignificant to him, not caring about the circumstance behind the exchange. He was prepared to use everything just to get this jewel.

“Two million!”

Another man with a beard from the other side shouted. The same as the first man, he didn’t care about what most people from the crowd were planning. His eyes were only focused on the jewel.

The two of them shot the other a glare then turned back to bid higher, not wanting it to land on someone else’s hands.

“Three million!”

“Four million!”

“Five million!”

The audiences’ plan of keeping the price low wasn’t working because even though they were a lot of them, there were still a considerable number of wealthy individuals in this place.

Some of them were in the jewelry industry and would not waste this opportunity to put their hands on a potential national treasure.

Some people took some pictures to send to their bosses. Phone calls kept ringing everywhere as they became crazy in bidding.

A number of them pooled their money to have a chance of getting it, agreeing to split the jewel up later.

The bid continued to shoot up. No one wanted to give up. Most of the onlookers were starting to think they were crazy.

But it wasn’t that simple. From their years of experience dealing with jewels, they can determine that this one was different than the commonly traded ones.

“40 Million!”

There was a middle-aged man in the crowd that shook in excitement every time a higher bid was being made. His face was completely red as his bright smile never faded. Max figured that he must be the seller that needed the money.

‘Crazy! Crazy people!

‘What are they doing?!’

‘Too expensive! That’s a waste of money!’

Max was initially feeling pretty good that he had a lot of money, but seeing these people splurge money more than double his entire savings, made him feel poor and irrelevant.

Each bid was like a bomb that exploded in his ears. Every explosion made him feel smaller and smaller. In the end, the highest bid reached an outstanding 82 Million!

The man who got it was the first man who shouted for his bid. Right after successfully winning it, the man and the seller from the crowd went out to seal the transaction.

Since then, the man never came back. It seemed that he spent all his available balance in that jewel and not wanting to be in any trouble, went away while being guarded tightly by his security.

Happiness was all over the woman’s face. This was only the first one, and she already sold it for a hefty amount! If this were to continue, she would surely secure that lump of bonus.

‘Little Dou! We have to make our move now! This can’t happen again! I lost a lot of money just by sitting here!’

Max still couldn’t believe it. If he had arrived earlier and didn’t sit here to watch, he could have gotten that expensive jewel.

He felt as if someone stole his money even when it wasn’t his, to begin with. He already treated all the items as his property.

Max didn’t look back and walked straight out. As everyone was busy waiting for the next item, no one bothered to look at him.

He arrived at a small hallway somewhere. There wasn’t anything in it except some paintings on the wall. Since Max went out in the middle of the event, there was no one with him excluding Little Dou.

Max and Little Dou then went on their way. After Little Dou flew in so many directions, turning left and right for a good minute, evading some guards that were stationed in their spots, they reached their destination.

It was a warehouse at the back that has a lot of guards outside. Each of them was carefully checking the items that were being brought in and out of the room.

‘Xiao Ming is inside?’

[Up there!]

 

Little Dou pointed to an elevator that wasn’t operational. But that never stopped Max from using the stairs after avoiding another group of people to head up.

Max wanted to see if he could do something to annoy Xiao Ming, even just a tiny bit. After all, it would give him happiness if Xiao Ming were to be pissed off.

Chapter 90 – More Evil Plans

 

Previous Chapter | TOC | Next Chapter

 

As Max made his way in, he checked every person that he passed by. So far, Max didn’t any more Awakeneds at his surroundings, even the guards at this hotel were just ordinary people.

No matter how buff they were, they will stand no chance against a Rank 1 Peak Phase Awakened like Max. Knowing all this made Max feel better as he strode inside. Still, he didn’t let his guard down for any possibilities.

People were everywhere as Max scanned the entire room. Surprisingly, not a lot of them looked rich, which was not how Max imagined it to be.

‘Were they just here to look at the items being sold?’

What Max assumed was right. Most of the people that attended this event were only here to lay their eyes on the valuables.

Some of them had a little bit of money wishing to get a good and cheap buy, hoping that they would be able to make some money off it.

Almost none of them would be successful as most people in this room usually won’t make a mistake with their eyes, having years of experience in this kind of stuff.

Even if there were someone who succeeded in earning money, it would still be small and insignificant for the wealthy. For them, it simply isn’t worth it wasting time for those.

‘Jewelry and gold are amazing, but there are too many people?’

Max estimated that there should be hundreds of people here. That was crazy. First, he had to settle himself inconspicuously.

Max found a seat beside the exit door. It was the seat that made him the most comfortable as he can smoothly go out when anything happens.

Up to this time, people were still going in, and it doesn’t seem to be close to stopping. Max could only prepare himself to use another Face Mask just in case this would take long.

‘Haah. Why did I come too early?’

“Hey, Little Dou. Can you check the entire layout of this area? I want to know the best way to get to where the items are stored.”

[Wait, I’ll try and see if I can find one!]

 

Little Dou raised her fist as her face became serious. She treated it as a mission that Max gave her as she flew straight to the stage, not caring about the people below her. No one could see her anyway.

Her adorable actions amused Max as he watched her disappear off the stage. He wholeheartedly wished that Little Dou would come back with useful information, cheering for her success in his mind.

A few minutes passed, the whole place suddenly god silent as a beauty wearing a red dress walked out from backstage. She had fair skin, curvy eyebrows, and small cherry-red lips.

‘Of course, a beautiful woman should be the one hosting! Whoever was in charge of this event was an honorable person.’

Max nodded his head as he checked the woman out. Based on what Max can see from looking at other people’s expressions, she should be a regular on this event as most of them wasn’t showing anything on there faces while staring at her.

Except for some relatively old guys that were letting their eyes filled with desire and lust roam her body.

The woman should have gotten strict lessons on how to handle herself properly, not being bothered by a few hundred pairs of eyes staring at her, including the lustful ones.

She even gave them a slight smile. Standing in the middle of the stage in front of the crowd that was eagerly waiting for her words, she started speaking,

“Welcome to the monthly auction of the Xiao Hotel Group! The auction will begin shortly.”

The woman gave out a lively yet charming aura that entices people to want to talk to her. Maybe this was why she became the host of this auction.

Max also had a feeling like he should also buy some of the items so that the woman would glance at him, even just for a few moments.

While Max was waiting, he saw something coming out from backstage. It was Little Dou! Max looked at her, flying towards him, hoping she has some good news for him.

[It was really easy! There wasn’t much in there!]

 

[There were a lot of guards, but you can easily go through them with invisibility!]

 

[I don’t know if there were other Awakeneds as I have no way to find out! Oh! Xiao Ming was there!]

 

[I saw Xiao Ming back there! He was in a room alone with the Awakened that we saw a while ago!]

 

[I heard Xiao Ming talking about how this was his first time hosting the event himself. He also said something about nothing should go wrong this night!]

 

[Hehe! You will be happy about the next thing I saw! Do you want to know?]

 

Little Dou put on a childish teasing expression, but it wouldn’t work against Max as he knew that she would still tell him regardless if he asked or not.

“What is it?”

Max acted like he was very interested in what Little Dou was going to say. When Little Dou saw this, she brightly smiled like she won something great.

[I saw Xiao Ming opening a secret vault in his room! I even know the code for it! Hehehe! I’m so smart!]

 

This time, Max was oozing with evil aura from the thoughts that were running through his mind. This couldn’t have gone better for him, complimenting Little Dou, further making her happy inside.

Many people whispered to themselves as the first cart was being pushed to the stage. This signified that the auction finally began.

The woman stood relaxedly in the middle of the stage, waiting for the card to reach her. Since she was used to this, she looked very professional in handling all of this.

While waiting, she moved her body slightly. It wasn’t exaggerated in any way, but from the guys’ perspective, she was tempting them to further look at her with eyes like wolves. It does seem that she was enjoying every bit of it.

Not for the reason that most people think. It was only because of the more attention she got, the easier it will be for her to sell the items at a higher price.

If she sold the items at a higher price than expected, she would get a big fat bonus from her boss. From the looks of it, she might just get it this time. She was already looking forward to it.

Finally, this was the moment that everyone was waiting for. Not only the potential buyers but also the onlookers focused their gazes on the covered cart, anticipating the first item that was being shown.

The cheapest item that will be showcased would still go for a high price, so everyone was excited to have a glimpse of each one, maybe take some pictures.

Max was the only one that looked different. He wasn’t enthusiastic about it because if the first item was very precious and valuable, there’s a big chance that he won’t be able to get a hold of it once it was sold.

Chapter 89 – Evil Plans

 

Previous Chapter | TOC | Next Chapter

 

Max had been trying to find someone that was an Awakened the same as them but never was successful in finding one.

He wanted to see another awakened that he didn’t know of. He didn’t have any plans of befriending them, only that he wanted to watch how they live their lives.

He desired to know whether their actions were different from them. Do they prioritize doing something? How do they spend their days? What are they trying to achieve by doing that? Those were only some of the questions that he wanted answers for.

Max wants to find out how they live and compare it to how they were living to see if they were doing something wrong, or they were missing something.

Saying goodbye to Lydia, not after catching her off guard by kissing her in front of their house. Max turned away as he saw her closing their door.

Leaning on the wall, covered by the shadow of a lamppost, Max pondered on what he should do. Should he go back to satisfy his curiosity, or should he ignore it?

Eventually, Max decided to go back right now, not after assessing the strength of the guy and thinking about him being only Level 12. A Rank 1 Early Phase Awakened was nothing for someone like him.

“Whatever I’ll go. He’s weak anyway. What’s the worse that could happen, right?”

“So I’m back, huh?”

“I’m really an idiot.”

“But this is going to be fun right?”

Max reassured himself that this was going to be okay. His blood was pumped faster as he readied himself to go in.

[Hmph! Wait till Yu’er scold you until morning after you get home!]

 

Little Dou spoke out her thoughts as Max wasn’t paying attention to her warnings to not go to these kinds of places alone. She was sulking on his hair, turning her head to the side.

“What do you mean? I’m just going to look! I won’t start a fight, you know?”

“I’m even going to use a Face Mask for this! I also have Time Stops and enough Points for a lot of Invisibility Potions that can last me for more than a day’s worth of invisibility. Maybe.”

Max fully believed that everything that he had was enough for him to go to this place alone. He wasn’t wrong about this.

If Max were to use everything that he has, Skills, Items, and Points, he would almost be unstoppable. The exceptions were if there was something unexpected happening like a strong figure showing up which wasn’t probable in his current situation.

Using his Face Mask, Max’s facial appearance changed to a middle-aged man’s face. This was entirely different from his last appearance with a Face Mask.

Last time, he changed to an ordinary, easily forgotten face, but there were still some people who attempted to try something to him.

Max figured that it might be because of how he looked. At that time, he looks like a teenager. Now, he had a mature face that would make people think twice before thinking of coming up to him.

After making sure there weren’t any problems, Max made his way inside, blending with the groups of people.

“Wow!”

“They are wealthy!”

“This is so… I don’t even know what to say.”

“Layla said that Xiao Ming’s family had a lot of these kinds of business. How rich were they?!”

Max’s eyes almost showed dollar signs in them, checking out the shiny furnishings, massive chandeliers, expensive antique paintings, and other decorations.

A long list of evil ideas flooded his mind while looking everywhere. Seeing all these things made Max feel something on his chest that was telling him to take all of it for himself.

All of these were his enemy’s properties and Max being himself, started to use his brain to think whether he could do something to bring some good stuff home.

[Haha! They will definitely catch you! Max! Run! Run!]

 

Little Dou was making fun of him. Inside, she was confident that Max could get away with whatever he planned to do. But she wasn’t going to say it out loud, not wanting Max to mess things up from being overconfident.

Max followed where everyone was going. Most of them were going in the same direction that he became curious about what’s in there.

‘There must be something in there, right?’

The place that they arrived at was a vast theater. This theater was most likely where plays, concerts, and shows happen. Most luxury hotels have a place like this. This as after all, extra income for them.

‘What are they doing?’

‘Hey, Little Dou. Can you go inside and see?’

Max was stuck outside, as the lines were pretty slow. He doesn’t even have an idea where he’s going to. What if it’s a private gathering? He would surely be kicked out, showing up uninvited.

This was the last thing he would like to happen. Getting attention to himself was going to be a tragedy for his plans.

Not long after, Little Dou came back flying from inside. From how her appearance, moving towards his direction, Max determined that he won’t be in any trouble, waiting to know what was occurring inside.

[Uhm, it’s some auction?]

 

[I’m not sure how it works, but they will sell some things later!]

 

[I saw people from the backstage with their items. They were passing it to the person in charge!]

 

[Those items seemed to be different! They all look expensive or valuable!]

 

[I saw some jewelry like necklaces and bracelets, and scrolls, I think they were paintings? I’m not sure about it! Oh! Oh! There were also antique vases and some gold items. There were moving it so carefully!]

 

Every time Little Dou said what she saw, the brighter Max’s eyes were becoming. At this point, he was almost salivating, picturing the treasures that were back there in his mind.

‘This is Xiao Ming’s family hotel, right? If those items for some reason disappear, if those items disappear…’

Max’s lips curled upwards as he thought of how good would it be if he got all of this, already thanking Xiao Ming for his generous gifts.
